Had my tutorial for narratives today and I'm feeling SO much more positive about the subject and the project itself, I didn't realise before I started talking about it out loud but Sir Dr Nakamats is actually way more interesting a subject than I first thought, I actually think his philosophies and spirit resinates with me.
What to do next:
- I need to work out what I want to say about his legacy. Do I want to focus on his objects and the things that made up his life? Or do I want to focus more on the process he used to create those objects? Both are good but which one will I be able to focus on for longer?
- Sketchbook both ideas and see which one gets me going more
- Try and work out a way of experiment with using found objects in either or both subjects: floppy disks, swimming floats, old electrical equipment, goggles and anything else that reminds me of him
- ALSO: in the style of Christoph Niemann, SIMPLIFY. I enjoyed using illustrator last time so maybe try that again? The only way my works ever going to look new and exciting is by using new ways of working and not being boring
- GO SWIMMING! take a camera and get some first hand experience of how Nakamats would feel when he's inventing. (but try not to drown and maybe down wait until exactly 0.5 seconds away from death to come to the surface, could be risky)
